A raft, or “jangada”, is a common mode of locomotion in the north and northeast of Brazil, generally made of round trunks. The name comes from a Portuguese word used by the colonizers instead of the Brazilian indigenous term "piperi" or "igapeba".

This element can serve as an allegory for the Portuguese occupation of Brazil, overlooking and erasing aspects of the culture of the Amerindian peoples and imposing their ideas and ideals.
